   I have a static front home page. My blog is located at mysite.com/blog/.

   Is there a conditional that says the following:

   If on /blog/
   Then show this
   Else
   Something else
   End if

   I basically have a different navigation I want to show when only on the blog.

   This will check for /blog/ anywhere in URL, but chances are you will only have /blog/ in URL when at the blog.

   / defines start and end of the pattern to match so the / in blog are escaped \/
   

   <?php
   if(preg_match("/\/blog\//",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])){
      //if /blog/ is anywhere in the URL..
   }else{
      //if /blog/ is not in URL
   }
   ?>

   Far better to use WP conditionals:

   <?php if( is_home() ) :?>
   [ show this]
   <?php else:?>
   [ something else]
   <?php endif;>

   Esmi, I don't think that will work since my home page is not my blog but static content for the front of the site.
